Hi, can anyone upload to any cloudstorage the STOCK original TWRP backup of xt1254 ?
I have many problems with my phone such as random rebooting ,problems with unlocking lockscreen, dialer truoblshots and others. I have flashed Official rom via fastboot, unlocked bootloader and installed many other roms ,also tried 4.4.4 and 5.1 but problems not solved. I think my be TWRP backup off clean official rom will solve my problem. THANKS

I bought the T-Mobile version (on AT&T) and received it yesterday, based on the numerous threads that seemed to be the best option for me. I've been unlocking, rooting, and flashing the previous 3 Android phones and have yet to brick or "damage" any of them (knock on wood). Not too worried about voiding warranty since unfortunately they sold out of DE early on.
Originally, all I wanted to do was root. Though, I should have read more carefully before accepting the 4.4 OTA, chalk it up to "new phone" excitement. Seems like you needed to remain on 4.2.2. to root and THEN updating to 4.4. Decided to go ahead and unlock the bootloader and rooting the "traditional" method. Worked fine. Unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, and installed SuperSU. Profit. Thanks to the all the helpful people here.
I plan to stay on stock with the Moto X...for the first time ever with an Android device. Will I be able to accept future OTA updates? From what I've interpreted, I can't because I no longer have stock recovery, is that correct? If that is the case, what would I have to do to "keep up" with future official OTA updates?
Despite unlocking, rooting, and flashing previous phones - I've realized that this is far more complicated than I thought for a layman like myself.
It is still possible, and should remain so, that you can flash OTAs using CWM or TWRP recovery while rooted if you have not made any changes to system apps. I just updated my rooted, stock rom & kernel N7 with TWRP recovery to Kitkat 4.2.2. After updating successfully, I just restored TWRP with a fastboot flash of the twrp recovery image and used TWRP to flash SuperSU 1.8. to restore root. It all worked perfectly, but I had to unfreeze a couple of apps and uninstall the AOSP root browser app. After updating, I reinstalled the AOSP browser and all is well.

You can't flash the ota with twrp recovery, it will bootloop, other have tried it and always goes south, unlike the previous person who had a nexus 7 , the moto x is a different beast. We do have access to the firmware which you can flash with rsdlite but it wipes the phone, wipes recovery and puts the phone back to original specs

I had the same problem, which I previously stated.. But then I did some more searching and found the answer to our problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/request-xt1064-xt1063-nandroid-backup-t2929280 The backup is in this forum if you scroll down. Just flash it the same way you did the other back up. Hope I helped.
Sorry If this is a newbie question.
SO here is my Story.
I Was trying to flash the Epsilon Project ROM for my Moto X 1052. So I first created a Nandroid Backup of My Kitkat 4.4.4 Stock ROM.
But When I was wiping my data Cache and dalvik i accidentally cleared all my internal storage. The Stock ROM was completely wiped and my cell was stuck at Bootloader Unlocked warning message.
Suddenly i got an idea and I flashed The Epsilon ROM using OTG Cable. The device booted succesfully. But if I want to go to the stock rom back then should i restore my Nandroid or I should follow the RSDLite method.
Does flashing the custom ROM using the OTG have any effect on the Bootloader because I heard that Downgrading the bootloader from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 bricks the phone. Is my bootloader is still on 4.4.4?
Thanks
Nandroid or use fastboot. Why would flashing a rom using an OTG cable be any different from having your phone connected to a computer? The only way your bootloader would be on 4.4.2 is if you flashed a 4.4.2 rom, but that wouldn't be successful.
Why doesn't anybody use fastboot anymore?
I used to have a Samsung device. Everything was flashed using Odin and it had extSdCard slot also.
So dealing with so many commands freak me out. That's why I dont use fastboot. (don't know about others)
Thnks for your reply

Actually, even if you bricked downgrading to 4.4.2, the bootloader wouldn't be downgraded.
I've not seen anyone able to downgrade their bootloader, bricking or not. If it is possible, that gives some hope to all those 4.4.4 VZW users with locked bootloaders, who can't use sunshine currently...
I have rooted my phone using the all in one guide for moto G2014. The only problem that I have is that booting time has increased by increase it means a lot. ROM is stock just unlocked and rooted and twrp flash. Any solution to solve this ? Because I doubt flashing another ROM won't be of much help .
Problem solved by flashing a new rom . I flashed AOSP 5.1.1
Hi,
I own a Motorola Moto g2 (2014) Indian Version, 16 gb and i am running a stock firmware 5.0.2, rooted and bootloader unlocked. and i want to install a Custom ROM, So i went on to Youtube and find out how to unlock the bootloader and install Super SU.
After that i came to know about this site, and thought of flashing CM 13, and so in order to do that it was required to update bootloader, since it won't work on bootloader 4.4
So, i followed the instructions clearly and updated the bootloader and the TWRP Recovery , Both are successfull.
Now comes the problem part for me:
So when i browsed the xda developers site in the moto g 2014 thread , i came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/6-0official-indian-ota-zip-captured-t3299550
It said
So to everyone here. After updating to 6.0 I don't think it's a good idea to downgrade to 5.0.2 and update it with stagefright update over the air.
I made it and it hardbricked my phone.
5.0.2 bootloader version is 48.83
6.0 bootloader version is 48.86
So, don't downgrade your bootloader, it can cause hardbrick!
so, i got afraid, since i am going to install cm 13 nightly which is unstable and the bootloader already updated, will i be having problems when i restore it back to stock 5.0.2
and would it be safe if i installed cm 12.1 after updating the booloader or will it hard brick my phone. (since cm 12.1 is stable version compared to cm 13)
P.S Can someone post a link on how to backup before installing the Custom ROM, since i always see this step:
that is to make a backup using TWRP and then use advanced wipe to wipe the device, the only question is won't the adavanced wipe deletes the backup folder ?
And Is there any stable ROMS for moto g that runs marshmallow, + is it possible to install multi ROM twrp and Install CM 13 Along with the Stock Android
